Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Shrewsbury, Shropshire

“Butler Landscapes completed a landscape project (building a terraced area, pathways and driveways, two raised beds as well as a small amount of planting) in our suburban garden in the summer of 2016. We had plans for a garden design drawn up before meeting Sharon and Paul - but these needed modifying in order to keep the project within the budget. Paul was very helpful in suggesting the elements of re-design that would keep the price down to what we could afford, and having giving us a price he stuck to it for the entirety of the work - no hidden extras, no last minute requests for extra money. Compared to past experiences it was an absolute joy! I felt that both Sharon and Paul listened to what we wanted, and didn't try and persuade us to have a design or style that we were not comfortable with, but did suggest modifications that would improve on the the practicalities or look of the design - and we were very happy with these suggestions. The work itself was completed to a very high standard, the men working on the project worked hard and felt trustworthy, which was important to me as I was out at work for much of the time. The work did take longer to complete than initially anticipated, but this was largely due to the weather - which was not under Butler Landscapes' control. Paul ensured that all the loose ends were tied up before he asked for the final payment, coming back to the site a couple of times to ensure that all the last bits and pieces of work were finished. We are delighted with the end result and looking forward to enjoying it properly after the winter.”

“We commissioned Paul to design two areas of garden close to our farmhouse - a small 'Mediterranean' garden in a sheltered walled area near the kitchen and a low maintenance garden to be viewed from the kitchen, living room and master bedroom, inspired in part by our time living in Japan. Paul gained the commission through being one of the two best of five after initial meetings and of the final two produced by far the best design output that made it easy to understand what we were going to get. Paul project managed the build, working with professional dry-stone waller, Andy Louden, and Landscaper, Chris Bromley to create a garden that has the wow factor and a smaller more intimate space that is great for a summer afternoon with a cup of tea or indeed something stronger. We have recommended Paul to other people who have seen his work, and would have no hesitation in commissioning him again were we to look to extend our designed garden area.”

“When I moved to this house the garden was steeply sloping and totally neglected. I contacted Unique Landscapes and Shaun submitted an imaginative design which makes the most of its southerly aspect and far reaching views. It is easy to maintain. I love the garden - it fulfils all my requests and is like an extension to the house. The work was completed on time, cleanly and with good humour. Since then Shaun has redesigned my small front garden. It is an equal success I would have no hesitation in recommending Unique Landscapes to anyone.”

The garden changes week on week with different plants in flower . Stuart has looked after our garden (s) for over 6 years now and continues to do an excellent job . Can highly recommend him and his business .”

“Having used Pacey-Buck twice over the years we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting a comprehensive and personal garden design service. PB provided a professional and collaborative garden design and comprehensive planting plan following a full site survey. The hand-drawn plans and designs add a very personal touch to the service and stood head and shoulders above many of the computer generated designs provided by many firms nowadays. We would highly recommended PB to anyone looking for a fantastic garden design to vastly improve their gardens and value of their home.”

“Victoria has designed two parts of my garden at different times. Each improvement has given me, and visitors, great pleasure, and has exceeded my expectations. She planned the excellent design and structures around my ideas and needs, seeking out possible additions, adding imaginative details, and recycling materials where possible. The work was carried out by professionals, who completed it under her guidance.”

“Penny has a superb eye for design and her planting schemes reflect both her understanding of the principles of design coupled with a deep understanding of horticulture. Plus she is great to work with!”
